Places where I tried Matcha in New York City

Matcha’s hype is here to stay!
My love for matcha grew slowly but surely. Lately, I have been researching everything about it, digging in endless questions on Quora, Youtube videos, history websites etc.

For example, did you know that the matcha way of brewing tea is actually an ancient way of brewing tea practiced 2,000 years ago? They were brewing tea in this way in China and this traditional way of brewing tea has persisted only in Japanese tea culture.

Well known green tea growing prefectures in Japan are Kyoto, Aichi and Shizuoka, where they produce quality matcha.

It takes few utensils you’ll use exclusively for brewing matcha (A matcha bowl, a whisk, a matcha sifter, a whisk holder, a bamboo scoop…), all of which I purchased only a year ago. Had to upgrade from my grandpa style brewing technique! 😉

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by.
This creative space is dedicated to tea.
I mainly write about loose teas I already know or love and sometimes new ones I review.
This blog gives me a good excuse to do something else I love: photography.
I love taking pictures with natural light, and most of the posts I publish are illustrated by me.
Some of the content here will be related to tea in New York City from office tea drinking hacks, to tea container reviews or cultural tea events in the city. Enjoy!
